As a full-day care, year-round nursery, it provides an environment where children are encouraged to engage through their own interests, fostering independence and freedom in their play and learning. It is a sister nursery to Farm Work Play, sharing the common goal of offering liberating experiences that might be less accessible in traditional classroom settings. The nursery champions spontaneous, unstructured, and adventurous play, prioritising ample space for movement and exploration, fresh air, and consistent exposure to the natural world. Town Work Play aims to cultivate a sense of freedom, independence, and confidence in children, along with a strong connection to nature. They nurture each child's innate curiosity at their individual pace, ensuring a supportive, loved, and protected atmosphere, akin to a home away from home. Despite its town location, the nursery maintains a rural feel, creating a setting where children can thrive in a free-range environment.
